I'm not sure what you mean. The mouse bindings under Epoch are fully
programmable and can be made buffer local, via the (define-mouse),
(global-set-mouse) and (use-local-mouse-map) functions. What
particular actions would you like to have?

Not currently. Epoch doesn't support selections yet, and Open Look
apparently also uses a different selection (CLIPBOARD instead of
PRIMARY) from everyone else on top of that. We do plan on supporting
selections in the future.

They could be implemented, but I would estimate that it would take on
the order of a couple months of full time work. We have no plans to
implement them.

The client process should exit when the buffer is killed via
(kill-buffer) also. What other means are you using?
